What’s cookin??

I keep a clean house with fresh laundry but when it comes to the cooking, I just don’t have the time and I don’t want to kill myself trying to do everything. To me, cooking is popping in a frozen pizza or whipping up some tacos and bean burritos or my fave…FEND FOR YOURSELF. But when my husband comes home one night and actually makes a statement such as…and I quote, “I really like eating cereal for dinner.” Something inside me was like…woah, ok. Maybe I need to become a LITTLE more domesticated.

I know I’m painting a picture like I NEVER cook but I do sometimes. Usually on Sundays I will make a big meal that can linger throughout the week but it’s not every Sunday. And I have been wanting to get better at meal planning to hopefully cut down the cost of groceries as well, so this morning while drinking my coffee I did just that. I planned a weeks worth of meals and made a shopping list and hit the store.And I see how this can be economically effective.

I am on my way people. Small Steps.

I have to share a recipe that I did today (which I am super proud of) — go back to statement of not being a domestic godess — and you will understand that I’m excited about this recipe that I did.

Have you ever tried the low fat Chicken Salad at Subway? Well, if not, it’s goooood. And I’ve been thinking it can’t be that hard to make. So today, I played. And it was worth it! Now I can have my own healthy (actually even healthier) version way cheaper! YAY!

***if you add pecans be sure to add the extra point value
(you can also add raisins but I didn’t have any at the house and forgot to get some at the store) – but I bet it would be a great addition)

Just mix it all up and you have yourself a sandwich! Enjoy!!! ♥ And if you try it – let me know what you think!!!!

I will leave you with a couple projects I did on Friday night.

Both of these were done using BoBunny Petal Pushers. (my most favorite line right now). Just the colors and the papers are so fun to play with. The card was created based off the Card a Day Challenge at For the luv of Art to create a window card. My picture shows the outside and then the inside. Thanks y’all! ♥♥♥ xoxoxoxo – Renee

I love the idea of a quick cheap sandwich like that!! I am going gluten free right now though, so I’ll have to check the whole foods to see if I can find some gluten free CRAP of bread to put it on…Yeah I am not really happy about it at the moment..but I’m doing it for a month to see if it doesn’t help my stomach issues out!! I LOVE your layout and card…gorgeous as always…Have a great Week!!
Love, Jess
